CiAO Mid-Month Meeting for October

Monday the 18th •  Discuss The Chosen Web Series

Note that the meeting will start at the normal time of 6:00 pm.

Our Team film, The Chosen, did not make the top-twelve 'short list' at the UK 2 Days Later Short Film Competition, but it will be screened at around 7:00 pm, right before the short-list screenings. We could not find any information about where our film landed in relation to the other films. However, if the films are being shown in reverse order of their 'score', then perhaps we came close to making the top-tweleve. We will let people know when we can see some of the winning films online.

Thanks again to everyone for their hard work and sacrifice and dedication to working on this Team CiAO project. It really does show in the end result. We still haven't made a hard decison as to when and where we will be scheduling additional presentation events so that more people can see the film. (friends and family of the actors and crew, and other CiAO members) We are also considering having an "Online Premiere".

The Chosen Web Series

There was quite a bit of interest in the idea of making The Chosen into a web series. Anyone who is interested in being part of The Chosen Web Series (cast, crew, writers, etc.) should attempt to make this meeting. We discussed the web series at the last meeting and came up with some good ideas and made some preliminary decisions about how things will work and where we will go from here. (the film will probably be re-cut to fix some issues to make the pilot for the web series) Although we haven't worked out the story line and arc, plots and sub-plots, etc., we already have a preliminary script for the second episode written by Shawn Dyer. There was discussion about initially making an episode every other month, but making two or more episodes at one time every other month once we get going, if that can be achieved.

The meeting location is the Not Quite Hollywood Studio, 120 W. 2nd. St., Chico, CA 95927, between Main and Broadway. Phone: (530) 343-6741 See map (click to see larger version), which also shows parking locations.
